You're quoting Wall Street (1987), but it's not clear whether you're in support of the sentiment or not. Plenty of people around here weren't born when that film came out.

People with the "wrong" political opinion have been surveilled for decades. It just took more work.

If that was one of those ELM327 dongles, yes they have 12V and are known to drain your battery. They're only meant for short diagnostic runs.

Just depends on what naming conventions you use.

For foolproof matching, adding Plex metadata in the style of "{tmdb-12345}" to the directory name would cause problems for Jellyfin, as they used to demand different formatting, for instance square brackets.

It has taken a years to convince the maintainers that this change is a good idea and not "letting Plex determine the future course of Jellyfin."

Jellyfin 12 should be able to use a Plex media library using Plex naming conventions, no renaming required.

This will reduce the switching workload, and you can run both services at the same time whilst trying out Jellyfin.
